According to WWD, the couple married at The Pierre Hotel in 1989 when Wang was a designer for Ralph Lauren women’s accessories and at-home wear. Becker was a stock broker.

Just one year later Wang set out on her own.

The couple has two daughters, Cecilia and Josephine.

“Becker is known to have advised Wang closely as her business developed from an Upper East Side one-stop bridal shop into a global multimillion-dollar brand with a litany of licensed products,” said WWD. “While Becker has always had other business pursuits… he has also become more involved with the day-to-day operations at Vera Wang in recent years.”

Wang designed many celebrity dresses over the years and grew into one of the most prolific wedding dress designers of all time.

“[Wang] opened her first private salon at New York’s Carlyle Hotel in 1990 [and] famously designed Kim Kardashian‘s three opulent wedding gowns in 2011 (plus sister Khloé Kardashian Odom‘s dress in 2009), and created Hillary Scott’s custom gown for her January 2012 nuptials,” said People.

They continue by saying that Becker was largely responsible for Wang’s designs relating to the masses.

WWD said that there is a Wang “camp” and a Becker “camp” at the company, and there is no word on how the split will affect that dynamic.

“They will not let this impact the running of the company,” a friend of Wang’s told WWD. “They have worked too hard to build it up.”

For the queen of wedding dresses, the new life may change the direction of her designs, but it looks like the company will continue operating as usual.
